I posted this in an existing thread related to SN school, and someone suggested creating a new thread for more visibility.
My 9th grade DC who has ASD 1, ADHD and anxiety unfortunately got bullied at his school, which is a langage-based LD school. Yes, kids at LD schools can bully ASD kids. My DC has a mild LD in math but for other subjects he doesn't necessarily need LD support anymore as long as he can keep his testing accommodations. Is Fusion Academy the only answer for quirky kids in this profile, who are not sporty, to avoid getting bullied again? Or would a supportive mainstream private that has a lot of non-sporty electives and/or extracurricular be okay? I know that bullying can happen in any form--physical or social--at any school. But I would like to try and find a school where my DC will be able to overcome his trauma from bullying, unless that simply does not exist. I am wiling to relocate if needed to anywhere along the East Coast between VA and ME for this. |

| How about SSFS? My kid just graduated and he was never teased for his LD and knows many kids with ASD and ADHD and other differences. |
